A walk from Queenscliff to Shelly Beach - Dusk

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

A walk from Queenscliff to Shelly Beach - Dusk

I finally got some 'spare' time and took the camera for a walk along Manly Beach, around to Shelly Beach. Here's some I took along the way. With the sun going down fast, these were all handheld with the ISO bumped up a bit (with the D200). Next time I'll take the tripod!

It's been a while since I've posted any images, so of course as usual criticism welcomed:

I just adore this part of the world and wish I had some more time to explore/photograph it!

Geoff, these are great. I love that walk as well - we went for a walk and shot some Velvia (show you tomorrow on the light box).

The first has a very European feel to it - not sure why or how to explain it. The light just creates a serene atmosphere. The pool shots are really good.
Regards, Patrick

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

Thanks Patrick,
Looking forward to seeing your velvia shots!
I'm processing these on the (old now) laptop, so it's pretty time consuming hehe.
I'll post part two in the next little while.

That last one is a ripper, straight away caught my eye, impressive for handheld too...coming from me with way too much coffee and shaky hands anyways!.....

Shelly beach is the home to some rare weedy sea dragons - or so I was informed when I did one of my first scuba dives there a month or so ago.....

but.. yep.. that last one really connects with me nice one :up:

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
